How to dynamically replace variables in SMARTFORM texts based on item data?

Hi experts,
I'm currently designing a confirmation of order using Adobe PDF forms. The general layout with tables, pictures and texts was not big deal.
But one tiny bit doesn't work and I'm becoming more and more desperate about it.
We need various free texts for our pdf form. I created the texts using smartform texts. Some of these texts need to be slightly dynamic, so I added some dynamic fields in it.
For example:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &num_week&."
To replace the dynamic field &num_week& in my interface, I read that I have to name the dynamic field exactly like the corresponding field in my interface. In my case this would be now:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &SLS_PRT_COM-ITEM_DETAIL-ZZ_EXTRAFIELDS-ZZWEEKNUM&."
To see the text on my form, I added a text object with type 'text module' and the proper textname. Of course I'm able to insert text on my form, save and activate it without problems. But if I want to print the form, nothing happens as the print program exits with an error code.
After some hours I found out that this problem only occurs if I'm trying to replace the dynamic field with a field from the item table. Using a field from head details or globals like sy-mandt works like a charm.
So my question is: Is it possible to use item data to replace dynamic fields of a smartform text?
Greetings and thanks in advance!
André

Hi
Have a look at the links below:
LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
Using floating field in Adobe Forms to display text paragraph with dynamic variables in between
After adding the floating field it will apeare in the hierarchy pallet above or bellow the text field.
Good luck

Hi Chandra,
I suggest you to enhance your datasource with text feild, by adding text feild to your datasource in ECC side and replicate it ti BI side.
For this you have to write code at CMOD.

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

How to dynamically include textelement in smartforms

Hi Experts,
I need to print payslip using smartform and need to take the values from pay99_result.
I took all the values and filled in the internal table and passed to smart forms, but the requirement is when ever particular wage type is given for an employee only that wage type only printed in the smart forms output. we have 87 wage types.
I designed the layout using table in window and created several table line, in the salray details table line rows values descripiton should come dynamically according to the particular month credited(affected) wage types.
This is the salary details line item .
desc amount annual semi annual deduction amount
textelement1 textelement2 textelement3 ... . . . .. ...
Inn single text element multiple coloumn need to come.
using this text element respective values should come dynamically, i tried condition in the text element , but if condition failed (no values for wage types) whole coloumn is not displaying but for me only that row should not printed.
Any one please guide me how to approach on this issue and how to pass the text element value dynamically ???

How can i give conditions in smartform text editor

Hi all,
i want to display something based on some condition using text element in smartforms , how can i do it.
in SAP Scripts normally we give conditions in text element using command line(/:)
but it wont work in smartforms , how can i give the same in smartforms ?
please help me soon.
thank you.

Hi,
You can use the Conditions tab for the corresponding text.
ex: in the text-editor consider you are displaying a name field based on a variable
<b>
ws_name
ws_variable</b>
In the text give the field to be displayed
&ws_name&
In the conditions tab give
ws_variable = 'X'
This will print the value from ws_name only when ws_Variable = 'X'.

Text-Variables for 12 selection based on 1 Date Variable

Hello.
I have a report where the user is being prompt to enter a start date (YYYYMM) in a variable. Based on that, my report have 12 selection using the variable + offset(1), + offset(2) .... + offset(11).
For the label of my columns, I'd like to display the the YYYYMM value, what the best way to achieve that? From what I see, I might have to create 11 variables that are equals to my original variable entered by the user with the use of offset and then create 12 text variables to get that information but I really hope I'm wrong...
Thanks.
Regards,
John

Ok, sounds a better way than defining 24 variables (12 text + 11 Replacement path).
Since I only have one variable (Month Selection by user), however, I'm not sure how to deal with the Offset in ABAP so I can properly assign my ZMONTH02TEXT, ZMONTH03TEXT, ZMONTH04TEXT and so on. Do you have any piece of code to share ? (Sorry, I'm pretty new to ABAP and I've been searching this forum for example but can't really find what I'm interested in).
Basically what I need to do is to assign the following:
ZCALMONTH01TEXT = ZCALMONTH --> The actual month is no problem as it's a simple replacement path variable defined
ZCALMONTH02TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 1
ZCALMONTH03TEXT ...
ZCALMONTH12TEXT = ZCALMONTH with offset of + 11
So it's ZCALMONTH02TEXT to ZCALMONTH12TEXT that I'm not sure how to code in the user exit..
Thanks.

How to compare substitution variable name to static member names (not data)?

Is there a way to write a BSO member formula that compares a substitution variable against the name of a static member (not the data value of the member)
For example, I have a BSO database that has the sub variable &CurrMth (which is set the real current month), and I am trying to use it in the Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 member formulas
IF(&CurrMnth <> "Jan" AND &CurrMnth <> "Feb")
"Mar";
The intention of the above is: if &CurrMnth is neither Jan nor Feb, then the Mar value will be used. However, the system is actually comparing the values of &CurrMnth and Jan/Feb, rather than the names/text string of "Jan"/"Feb".
I have been looking around the tech references, but I was unable to find any functions that will compare the text strings of member names as they all appear to compare against the data itself.
Please let me know if there are any ways to compare the member names themselves in a member formula, not the data values.
Thanks!

Thanks Celvin, that looks like it works!
However, I do need to do the same function in the equivalent quarter members in our ASO cube as well. Do happen know know if there's a similar MDX function I could use in the ASO cube to acheive the same result? I was using the following to achieve this in ASO (which obviously did not work):
IIF([Time Periods].[Jan] <> &CurrMth AND [Time Periods].[Feb] <> &CurrMth,
[Mar],

Dynamic WHERE clause logic in SQL based on ITEM value

Hi,
I have a report based on following SQL query.
   select dept_no,
       dept_name,
       dept_loc
from dept
where dept_loc = :P1_DEPT_LOC
   // If P1_DEPT_LOC is not null, I want the WHERE clause and IF P1_DEPT_LOC is null, then I don't need the WHERE clause.
   // how can I build this logic in same SQLThanks,
Deepak
Edited by: Deepak_J on Mar 11, 2010 4:37 PM

Deepak,
If p1_dept_loc were a LOV, this would work.
SELECT deptno,
dname,
loc
FROM dept
WHERE ( :p1_dept_loc = '%null%' OR loc LIKE '%' || :p1_dept_loc || '%' )

Domain template with custom replacement variables

Hi everyone,
the following document explains how to use "replacement variables" to prepare runtime scripts (bash) when a domain is created from a template:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/web.1111/e14139/tempbuild.htm#i1100973
Other than the listed variables, is it possible to create our own variables? If yes, how can we assign values to those custom variables when creating the domain from a WLST script?
Thank you,
Gabriel Lavoie

Have you taken a look at this hotfix?
